oh, camera (part two)

Where did I leave off?

Friday I had my "new" old camera, and used the rest of my gift card to buy Noah's shoes. I was completely content. I do admit that I had hope in my heart that I would somehow have enough money to upgrade to that awesome deal on the Nikon D60 within 30 days (the store's policy.)

To my really big surprise, last night someone very close to me had felt it on their heart to bless me with the camera I was hoping for.

These photos were the first shots taken with my new Nikon D60. I have so much to learn, especially with editing and oh there are a lot of buttons! but I am eager and excited.

Steph, that is so wonderful! The pictures are beautiful and crisp and the colors are lovely. Congratulations!!! I have the same camera (sweet husband made some $$ sacrifices to get it for me this past spring) and I love it. I know that in Beth you have the best learning resource but for what its worth, I really wanted to learn how to use all of those buttons and embarrassingly enough - Nikon D60 for Dummies was wonderfully helpful.Anyway - have fun!

That's what I ended up getting, too! I started with the D40 but when I had a snafu the first week and needed to replace it, they only had the D60 in stock (which is what I really, truly wanted to begin with)! I am LOVING it, too!! Yay!!!

Aren't those unexpected blessings just the greatest! One of these days I hope to have an SLR but until them I'm happy with my PowerShot - it does a really great job! Although... I would also like something like the Nikon CoolPix just so that I had a small camera that was easy to carry around too :)

The other day I mentioned on facebook that I needed a new camera and some skirts. Within a couple of hours someone emailed me, saying they were about to get rid of some skirts and a new camera that they never used when they saw my post. Now I am getting it.

Ask and you shall receive! Congrats on the new camera and thanks for sharing the story to remind us that there are still nice people out there. Enjoy the new camera. By the way that dress is adorable so keep snapping away with Ivy in it!
